2 Kings 2:18-22

18They returned to him while he was staying in Jericho; and he said to them, “Did I not say to you, ‘Do not go’?”

19Then the men of the city said to Elisha, “Behold now, the site of the city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad and the land 1is unfruitful.” 20And he said, “Bring me a new jar, and put salt 2in it.” So they brought it to him. 21Then he went out to the spring of water and 3threw salt 4in it and said, “This is what the Lord says: ‘I have 5purified these waters; there shall not come from there death or 6unfruitfulness any longer.’” 22So the waters have been 7purified to this day, in accordance with the word of Elisha which he spoke.
